New submission from fbvortex: The following lines of code work on Linux platforms (amd64), and 32-bit OpenBSD (i386), but not on 64-bit OpenBSD platforms (at least not on amd64 or sparc64):
import fcntl,os,pty,termios,select,sys,struct,pwd,signal,os pid,fd=pty.fork() fcntl.ioctl(fd, termios.TIOCSWINSZ, struct.pack("HHHH",80,25,0,0)) This gives an "IOError: [Errno 25] Inappropriate ioctl for device" exception. The python version in question on OpenBSD is: Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Nov 16 2007, 18:16:44) [GCC 3.3.5 (propolice)] on openbsd4 The winsize structure as dumped using sizeof(struct winsize) under OpenBSD/sparc64 is 8 bytes large, and so is the result from the struct.pack operation. Forcing the endianness big or little in the struct.pack formatting string has no effect on the error. ---------- messages: 57673 nosy: fbvortex severity: normal status: open title: ioctl doesn't work properly on 64-bit OpenBSD type: behavior versions: Python 2.5 __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1471> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
